Anthony Lally alias Anthony Gally

Alias

He enlisted under the alias 'Anthony Gally' (2).

Before the war

He was 24 years old when he was enlisted (4, 5). He was born in Ireland (4, 5).

He was a laborer (4, 5).

Description

He was 5 feet 6-1/2 inches tall, and had a dark complexion, blue eyes, and brown hair (4, 5).

During the war

He was a substitute (1, 4, 5). He was enlisted and mustered into service on 7 October 1864 (1, 4, 5). He was enlisted for one year, at Williamsport, Pennsylvania (4, 5). His enlistment was credited to the 18th congressional district (4, 5). He served as a private in company B (1).

On 28 June 1865, he began a furlough, which expired on 13 July 1865 (3).

He is named on a list of men "to be charged" or "not to be charged"--perhaps for lost equipment, when the regiment mustered out--but the list does not say whether he was to be charged (6).

He was absent, on furlough, when the regiment mustered out (1).

After the war

On 8 April 1892, his widow, Susan Lally, successfully applied from Pennsylvania for a pension (7, 8).
